I was here in June for some meetings in downtown Vegas, and our host suggested this hotel. I'd never stayed near Fremont before, and I'd heard the old section was a bit run down. Imagine my happy surprise about the ECC Suites!
You check in across the street at the El Cortez, which is dark, smoky and dated. But head across the street to the Cabana Suites and it's a completely different vibe! Lobby is light, spacious and well-designed, and has a giant container of M&Ms. Employees are very friendly and helpful.
The room was small but stylish. The bathroom was also well done and the shower had good water pressure. I was in the smallest of the suites, so I couldn't sit at the desk--not ideal--but I also understand most people aren't working in LV.
It's not as posh as some other hotels I've been to, but a great value and very clean. I'd definitely stay here again for an off-strip experience.
